dri_prime1-detection

Simple script to make verify if desired applications are running with discrete graphics

No Processes using discrete graphics returns as empty.

This was put together rather quickly, I welcome clean up/improvements.

Example of this script in use

Step 1: Download the script to your desired directory.

Step 2: Open a terminal window.

Step 3: Make it executable.

chmod +x amd-prime-dri.sh

Step 4: Run this to detect if the discrete card is used for that application.

sudo sh amd-prime-dri.sh

  • Activities, search for Steam.
  • Right click, launch with integrated graphics.

Locate and launch Steam using INTEGRATED graphics

  • Locate your game installed already or install it.
  • Right click on the game, goto properties.

Right click on the game, goto properties
